What isHabit Nova?
The fastest way to build habits. Tap a physical NFC tag, or a single check in the app, and it's logged. Streaks, routines, widgets and coaching are all built around making that one tap stick.
Tap to log
Stick NFC tags where habits happen. Tap your phone and the habit is logged, with no app to open.
Habits that fit real life
Daily, set weekdays, N times a week or every few days. Build habits or break them, with counters and sub-habits.
21 widgets that log for you
Water, Timer, Pomodoro, Lists, Journal, Workout, Medication, Meditate, Reading and more. Pair one with a habit and using it logs the habit.
AI that sets it up
The AI Architect turns a goal into habits and routines. The AI Coach can add, pair and log things for you, and you tap to confirm.
Better together
Accountability groups with nudges, friends, challenges and organizations for teams.

New accounts open in Simple mode: a shorter menu, the core widgets and a one-screen quick add. As you hit milestones, more of the app shows up, each step tied to a badge you earn by showing up.

Today, thenyour widgets.
Home opens on Today: what's left, what's next and your week. Under it, a grid of live widget cards. Pick a layout made for how you live, or arrange your own.
Your Home
The Today card says how many habits are left, logs the next one in a tap and shows your week. Every widget card has the same shape: an icon header, one main visual, one action. Try Next up, Water and Meds.
Today
A ring of habits due today, your best streak, a one-tap Next up and the last 7 days.
Water
A glass that fills with a wave as you drink. One-tap amounts, a weekly strip and an auto-log when you hit your goal.
Timer, Stopwatch and Pomodoro
Clock-app style dials and round Start/Pause buttons. Running timers survive a reload.
Small cards for the rest
Meds, Reading, Meditate, Your why and more sit two across on a phone, so Home holds more at a glance.
Pair a widget, skip the logging
Finish a timer, tick a list or hit your water goal and the paired habit logs itself. Free includes 1 pairing; Basic and Pro are unlimited.

Timer
A big countdown dial with habit presets.

One tap.Whole morning.
Create a habit in one screen, log it in one tap, and stack habits into routines you finish together.
Routines
A routine is a set of habits you do together: morning, deep work, wind-down. Start it, check through it, or log the whole thing with one tap or one NFC tag.
One-tap routines
Log every habit in a routine at once, and undo it just as easily.
Daily reminder
Give a routine a time and get one nudge for the whole thing.

One by one
Set a routine to “One by one” and Start walks you through it: each habit’s widget opens in order, with a step bar to tap Done or Skip. Timers, journals and lists finish their step on their own, then hand off to the next one.
Each widget, in order
Water, then a meditation timer, then your journal. No hunting between pages.
Logs as you go
Every step logs its own habit the moment you finish it.
Finishes itself
A timer ending or a journal saved moves you to “Up next” on its own.
Tags still log it all
Tapping the routine’s NFC tag still checks off the whole thing at once.
Water
Drink water
Log a glass, then tap Done
Everything habits can do
Tap a row to see what it does.
Name it, choose Build or Break, set a schedule and optional target, and pick a widget to log it with. Templates get you started even faster.
Tap the check to log (tap again to undo); counter habits count up with +. In the Android app, swipe a habit right to log it or left for Edit and Archive. Every log records its source: app, NFC or Fitbit.
Switch the list to To do and only the habits still due today show until it says “All done for today”. Done shows what you’ve logged. Sort by category, name, longest streak, newest or oldest, or put what’s left first.
Schedule habits on set weekdays, a number of times per week or month, or every few days. Today only counts the habits actually due today.
Add rotating labels to one habit. When you log, a quick picker asks which one you did. One streak, no duplicate habits.
Every habit tracks its current and longest streak. Badges mark milestones, and logging the last habit due today plays a day-complete celebration, once a day.
Commit to 30 days with a daily check-in calendar, notes, a paired widget or NFC tag, and friends along for the ride.
Follow a multi-week plan from an AI Assessment and watch it move from Foundation to Momentum to Integration as you tick off tasks.
Browse every log by day and filter by habit or source as you scroll. Reminders lists every habit reminder plus one-off events, with pause switches and bulk edit.

Habits that log themselvesPro
Connect Fitbit, Oura or (on Android) Health Connect and link a habit to steps, sleep, a weigh-in or a workout. It fills in as the day goes and ticks itself when you hit the goal, with no tapping at all.
Today’s number, up front
Each synced habit shows today’s steps, hours or weigh-in big, with a 7-day trend line and a bar toward your goal.
Marked by its source
The round button carries the Fitbit, Oura or Health Connect mark instead of a check, so you know it logs itself.
Amounts count up
Steps, minutes, water and sleep are counted, not just yes or no. Missed a day with the app closed? Health Connect catches up the last few days.
Clear sources
Synced logs are marked in your history, and the Sleep and Weight widgets show them too.
Habits
These log themselves, no tapping.
Fitbit FitbitHealth ConnectPro
In the Android app, Habit Nova reads today's numbers from Health Connect, so whatever your watch, scale or food app shares can log your habits.
Steps, workouts and sleep
Plus active calories, distance, floors and weigh-ins, from Samsung Health, your watch and more.
Food and water
Calories, protein and water logged in MyFitnessPal and other apps.
One-tap habits
Pick "Walk 8,000 steps" or "Log my food" and it is made, linked and synced.

Never twice
Habit Nova skips its own records when it reads, so a drink you sent doesn’t come back as a second one.
Health Connect is in the Android app (Android 14+). Fitbit sending works on the web and in the app.
Send what you log in Habit Nova to Health Connect, so Samsung Health, Google Fit and other apps see it.

Integrations › Automations walks you through it one question at a time: where it starts, what happens, then a sentence to check before you save. Tap Create or an idea to build one.
Start from a habit
A tag tapped, a routine finished or a habit logged can run a SmartThings scene, switch a light or call a web link.
Or from your home
A SmartThings button, SmartTag press, door sensor or arriving home can log a habit, start a routine or run a mode.
A link for everything else
Each web-link automation gets its own link, with steps for iPhone Shortcuts, IFTTT, Zapier and Home Assistant.
Safe by design
Habit Nova never unlocks a door, and an automation can’t set itself off in a loop.

“When this happens, do that” recipes for the rest: a SmartTag pressed twice, a door opened, another mode run.
